Allah has sent the Rasools to warn against the unbelievers' excuse: "If Allah wanted, we would have not worshipped anyone else." Allah has promised a good abode for those who migrate for His sake.

The Qur'an is a reminder for those who fear Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The Prophet Musa went to the sacred valley of 'Tuwa' at mount Tûr. Allah chose him as His Rasool & assigned him towards Fir‘aun (Pharaoh). The Prophet Musa prayed to Allah to open his heart, ease his task and remove the impediment from his speech so that people may understand what he says. Allah granted his request and reminded him about His favors. Dialogue between Musa and Fir‘aun. Human life cycle. Fir‘aun disbelieved Musa by calling his miracles a magician's trick and challenged him to confront his magicians in public - Musa accepted the challenge.

JUZ (PART) - 17 – iqtaraba linnas [Drew near the mankind…] 21. AL-ANBIYAA’ [The Prophets] (Rukus-7; Verses-112) 1 The Day of Accountability is getting closer, but the disbelievers are still heedless to admonition and dispute as to how Rasool can be a human being? 2 Prior nations were destroyed due to similar iniquities. The creation of the heavens and earth is not a game. If there were more than One God, the heavens and earth would have been in a state of disorder. All Rasools were sent with the same Message; "There is no god but Allah, so worship Him Alone." 3

The skies and earth once were one mass, Allah split them asunder, and He created all living things from water. Allah has not granted immortality to any human being. If Rasools are destined to die, how disbelievers are going to live for ever! Invented gods can not even defend themselves, how they will defend the unbelievers against Allah? Scale of justice shall be set up on the Day of Judgment. Musa was given Al-Furqân (the criterion of right and wrong), so is this Qur'an. Ibrâheem questioned the idol worshiping of his father and his people. Ibrâheem broke all their idols to show, that the gods who can not even defend themselves, how they can be of any benefit to them. They decided to burn him alive but Allah commanded the fire to be cool and comfortable for Ibrâheem. Allah blessed Ibrâheem with a son (Ishâq) and then a grandson (Ya'qoob) and made each of them Prophets.

6

Allah accepted the prayer of Nûh against the unbelievers. Allah blessed Prophets Daûd and Sulaimân with wisdom, knowledge and kingdoms. Allah accepted the Prophet Ayûb's prayer and removed his affliction. Allah accepted the prayers and blessed Prophets Isma`il, Zulkifl, Yûnus, Zakariyya and also blessed Maryam.

Mankind is but one brotherhood. Whoever does good deeds, provided he is a believer, his endeavor will not be rejected. The Day of Judgment, and the fate of the disbelievers and the believers. Allah has sent Muhammad (pbuh) as a blessing for all the worlds (Humans, Jinns and others).

Permission is granted to the believers to fight in self defence, and for the cause of Allah. O Muhammad, "you are not the only one being denied, all Prophets were denied before you." A day of your Rabb is equal to one thousand years of your calculation. Acceptors of Truth shall be forgiven, while others punished. Shaitân tampered with the wishes of all Rasools but Allah abrogated such interjection and On the Day of Judgment, Allah Himself shall be the Judge for all. Those who migrated for the sake of Allah shall be generously rewarded and Allah is the only One who is real, all other deities are false. Allah is the One Who has given you life, causes you to die and will bring you back to life for passing on His Judgment. Allah will judge between you concerning those matters in which you differ. So-called gods besides Allah have no power to create even a creature like a fly. Allah named the believers as Muslims in the prior Scriptures and also in this (Qur'an).

23:[45-50]

Allah has given you ears, eyes, and hearts, but you seldom show gratitude. Even the disbelievers recognize the existence of Allah.

The wrongdoers will wish that they could be sent back to this world to adopt the Right Way, but it will be too late. On the Day of Judgment, it will appear as if the life of this world was less than a day's. The unbelievers will never attain salvation.

The life of this world is nothing but pastime, the real life is the life Hereafter. Those who strive in Our cause, We do guide them to Our Way. 29:[64-69]

30. AR-RUM [The Romans] (Rukus-6; Verses-60) 1 The Romans' (Christians) defeat at the hands of Persia (Pagans) was taken as a sign of the Muslims' defeat at the hands of Arab unbelievers, so Allah gave good tidings for the Roman victory as well as the Muslim victory in a few years. 2 3

It is Allah Who originates creation and then repeats it and to Him everyone will be brought for final Judgment. The creation of Man, his consort, heavens, earth, language, colors, sleep, quest for work, lightening, rain and growth of vegetation - all are the signs from Allah. The wrongdoers are led by their own appetites without real knowledge. True faith and the nature of sects.

32. AL-SAJDAH [The Prostration] (Rukus-3; Verses-30) 1 The Qur'an, which contains no doubts, is revealed to Muhammad (pbuh), so that he may warn those people to whom no Warner has come before. 2 On the Day of Judgment, the unbelievers shall believe but that belief will be of no benefit to them. There is a special reward for those who forsake their beds and invoke their Rabb with fear and hope and spend in charity. 3 The Qur'an is similar to the Book which was given to the Prophet Musa.

Commandment to give one's relatives their due and likewise to the poor and the travellers in need. Mischief in the land is the result of Man's own misdeeds, that is how Allah lets them taste the fruit of their deeds.

30:[33-37]

30:[38-40] 30:[41-45] 2

Allah sent His Rasools for the guidance of people; some believed while others rejected. Allah subjected the guilty to His retribution and helped the Believers. Allah said: "O Prophet, you cannot make the dead to hear you."

When an affliction befalls people, they call upon Allah, but when He relieves them, lo! They start committing shirk.

but not in the matters of Shirk. Advice of Luqmân about moral behavior and interaction. Main reason for being misguided is being blinded by following one's forefathers. If all the trees were pens and the oceans were ink, Allah's words could not be put into writing. Allah is the only reality, all others whom people invoke besides Him are false. O mankind, fear that Day when no father shall avail his son nor a son his father. Let not the Shaitân deceive you concerning this fact.

31:[14]

Fear Allah and do not obey the unbelievers and hypocrites.

33:[1-3]

By word of mouth neither your wives become your mothers nor adopted sons become your real sons.

33:[4-5]

The Prophet's wives are the believers' mothers. Blood relations have greater claims than others in the Book of Allah.

33:[6-8]

Favors of Allah during the battle of Trench. The attitude of the hypocrites during the battle of Trench.

33:[9-11] 33:[12-15]

Those who discourage others from participating in the fight against the unbelievers and don't participate in such a war themselves have no faith and all their deeds will be void. The life of Rasool Allah (Muhammad, pbuh) is the best model for you. Allah helped the Muslims gain victory over the unbelievers and the Jewish tribes in Madinah and Khaiber. Admonition to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

JUZ (PART) - 22 – wa mayn-yaqnut [and whosoever exercises obedience…] Allah's order to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). 5

It is not fitting for believers to have an option in what has been decided by Allah and His Rasool. Allah commanded the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to marry the divorced wife of his adopted son Zaid. Muhammad (pbuh) is not the father of any of your men but a Rasool and Seal of the Prophethood.

The Prophet is sent as a bearer of good news, a Warner and a lamp spreading light. Divorce when no Iddat (waiting period for remarriage) is required. Special permission for the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to marry more than four wives. Restriction on the Prophet to marry or divorce one and marry another after this commandment. Do not enter the houses of the Prophet without permission, and if invited, do not seek long conversation. Do not marry the Rasool's wives after his death. Allah Himself and His angels send blessings on the Prophet, O Believers invoke Allah's blessings for him.

33:[56-58]

Commandment of Hijâb (dress code) for women. Punishment for the Hypocrites and scandal mongers.

33:[59] 33:[60-62]

In Hell the unbelievers shall ask double punishment for their leaders.

33:[63-68]

O Believers! Fear Allah and always say the right thing. The heavens, earth and mountains refuse to take Allah's Trust but Man took it.

34. SABA' [Saba] (Rukus-6; Verses-54) 1 The Hour is surely going to come and the Day of Judgment shall be established to reward the believers and punish those who discredit Allah's revelations. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter are doomed. 2

33:[41-48]

33:[49-52]

33:[69-73]

Let all those who are seeking honor know that real honor is in the obedience of Allah. Allah has created water, day, night, the sun and the moon, all for man's benefit. Deities besides Allah can neither hear, nor response. They do not own even equal to a thread of a date-stone. 3

4

5 34:[1-5] 34:[6-9]

Mankind is in need of Allah, while He is not in need of any one. The living and the dead are not alike. You cannot make those who are buried in the grave hear you. Those who recite the Qur'an, establish Salah (prayer) and give charity may hope for Allah's blessings and rewards. For disbelievers, a painful punishment in the hellfire forever. Allah has not sent any Book which has a provision of Shirk (worshipping any one else besides Allah). Plotting evil recoils none but the author of it. If Allah was to punish people for their wrong doings, He would have not left even an animal around.

36. YAA-SEEN [The Yaa-Seen] (Rukus-5; Verses-83) 1 The Qur'an is revealed by Allah to warn people. The Prophet is told that he could warn only those people who have the fear of Allah. 2

34:[22-30]

The unbelievers are asked to ponder upon their wrong statements – the Truth has come, falsehood neither originates nor restores anything. 34:[46-50] On the Day of Judgment the unbelievers will want to believe but it will be of no avail to them. 34:[51-54]

35. FAATIR [The Originator of Creation] (Rukus-5; Verses-45) 1 None can withhold or award blessings besides Allah. Shaitân is your enemy: so consider him as such. 2 That person who considers his evil deeds to be good, cannot be guided to the Right Path.

33:[53-55]

The mountains and birds used to sing Allah's Rhymes with the Prophet Daûd. Allah subjected the winds and jinns to Sulaimân. Claim of people that Jinns know the unseen, is wrong. 34:[10-14] The people of Saba' rejected Allah's blessings and disbelieved in the Hereafter, so Allah made them merely a tale of the past. 34:[15-21] No intercession before Allah can avail any one except for whom He permits it. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is for the entire mankind.

Those who disbelieve in the Qur'an and prior scriptures, will have yokes placed around their necks before being tossed into hell. 34:[31-36] Wealth and children are not the indications of Allah's pleasure.

The real losers are those who shall lose their souls and their families on the Day of Judgment. 39:[10-18] No one can rescue the one against whom the sentence of punishment has been decreed. 39:[19-21] 3 The Qur'an is consistent in its verses though it repeats its teachings in different ways. Allah has cited every kind of parable in the Qur'an so that people may learn a lesson. 39:[22-31]

Islam is the same Deen (way of life) which was enjoined on Nûh (Noah), Ibrâheem (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus). They were all ordered to establish Deenal-Islam and do not create division (sects) in it. He who desires the harvest in the Hereafter shall be given many folds, but he who desires in this life shall be given a portion here but shall have no share in the Hereafter. Whatever afflictions befall upon people are the result of their own misdeeds. True believers are those who establish Salah, give charity and defend themselves when oppressed.

The Prophet Ibrâheem recognized the Oneness of Allah and rejected Shirk (associating some one else with Allah). If it were not that all mankind will become one race of unbelievers, Allah would have given the unbelievers houses made with sterling silver. He who turns away from the remembrance of Allah, Allah appoints a Shaitân to be his intimate friend. Hold fast to the Qur'an if you want to be rightly guided. The Prophet Musa was sent to Fir‘aun and his chiefs with signs but they ridiculed him and the signs; as a result, Allah drowned them all. The Prophet Isa (Jesus) was no more than a mortal whom Allah favored and made him an example for the Children of Israel. On the Day of Judgment believers will have no fear or regret; they will be awarded paradise and made happy. O Prophet tell the Christians: if Allah had a son, I would have been the first one to worship him.

Allah has subjected the seas and all that is between the heavens and the earth for human beings. The Israelites made sects in their religion after the knowledge had come to them through Torah. The wrongdoers are protectors of one another while the protector of righteous is Allah Himself.
